Adelina Marini#EPhearings2014 #Mogherini: It's difficult in only 15 minutes to outline work for the next 5 years, especially when it comes to the whole world. And for an Italian it is particularly difficult

6 October 2014 18:46

6 October 2014 19:14

Adelina Marini#EPhearings2014 #Mogherini: Disarmament is not an ideological issue but a security issue

6 October 2014 21:02

Adelina Marini#EPhearings2014 #Mogherini: I don't know if it will be a new security strategy or a white paper or else, but I know that we need strategic thinking

6 October 2014 21:40

Adelina Marini#EPhearings2014 Very strong performance by Federica #Mogherini. She was highly underestimated due to her lack of experience, but she has proved she is very flexible, open, with ideas and great sense of humour. She made the MEPs gasp. Us as well

Today is a #Eurogroup day with two hot issues on the agenda. The first is #Greece's exit from the bailout programme. The other will take place in an expanded EU-format as it deals with the completion of the banking union and the reform of the #ESM. Although not on the agenda officially, another hot issue is the new government in Italy. Yesterday, President Sergio Mattarella gave Giuseppe Conte a mandate to form a coalition government between the populist M5S and the eurosceptic Lega. Stay tuned for live updates
